If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:
Knowledgeable about operating system fundamentals and computer architecture
Experienced with systems programming concepts like sockets, virtual memory, and the process life cycle
Able to understand network protocols at a basic level
Comfortable at the command-line of a Linux machine, whether that’s from coursework, time spent as a systems administrator for your campus computer lab, side projects, etc.
Fluent with basic introspection and troubleshooting common aspects of a Linux system (e.g. system health as a whole, individual processes, checking logs, etc.)
Someone who solves problems by writing code (in any language) and is invested in robust software engineering
Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn (including from mistakes)
Humble and unafraid to ask questions
A strong communicator
